Visceral Manipulation addresses the interrelationship of function and structure among the internal organs and the surrounding musculoskeletal system. The gentle techniques for engaging and releasing the body's tensions are comprehensive and highly specific. Structures throughout the body can be accessed therapeutically, including fascia, ligaments, and viscera. These deep tissues may retain spasm and nerve irritation, perpetuating chronic restrictions in the peripheral muscle, spine, and joint systems. This work acts as a stimulus to the body's own self corrective tissue responses, achieving profound and effective change and promoting the normalization of mobility, tone, posture, and overall function.
